Welcome to the Samford Family!
We are thrilled your student is now a Bulldog and you a Bulldog parent or family member! We look forward to getting to know and partner with you to ensure your student’s success throughout his or her Samford experience.
College brings a unique time of growth and change for you as a parent or supportive family member and your student. While you are letting go and encouraging independence, you are still providing support and guidance from a distance as your student navigates some of their most impactful years and makes some of their most life-forming decisions. You aren’t alone as you enter these years. Samford offers a wide range of resources to help you help your student in the very best way possible. The Office of Parent and Family Engagement is your connection to the university and the university’s connection to you. We hope you take full advantage of the services, opportunities and resources we provide.
Join us on Facebook and Instagram for news and special interest stories. Also, please don’t hesitate to call, email, or drop by to visit us at any time in Parent Commons, Westmoreland Hall 151 (University Center Annex). You are always welcome!
Getting to know you during your student’s Samford journey will be our privilege!
Alongside,
Julie Boyd, director, Office of Parent and Family Engagement
